ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done
Hello All,
I have an instance on my LAB server. To explore more avenues in cloning a DB I did the following.
1. On my Oracle 10g Instance I fired an large query which would take atleast an hour to execute.
2. Opened another session and executed shu ABORT to shutdown the above instance abruptly.
3. Took backup of datafiles, archive logs and redologs [ prior to shu abort, I had issued ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE]
*************
Restoration steps:
NOMOUNT with pfile edited to hold the name of the new DB_NAME
Create control file script edited to reflect the new paths of datafile and redologs.
MOunted succesfully.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
ERROR at line 1:

I didn't find the file it was suggesting so I tried many combinations of providing the right recovery file name :-- All the latest Archive logs and Redologs in my backup.
Still the recovery is not successful. Please let me know how can I recover my DATABASE.
Many thanks in advance.
